#MyGumtreeFairytale Competition Ts&Cs

This is why Gumtree is South Africa’s Fairytale Marketplace!

Ever heard the story about Sonto and her seven debit orders?

Or the three little loans, and as much as you huff and puff, the interest means that you’re never tearing them down

Baloo was onto something when he was telling us about the bare necessities

because instead of forgetting about worries and strife

you’re drowning…just like the little Watermeise

Lost in a wonderland of items you no longer need

But that’s not how your story needs to end

Like that cub on pride rock, you TOO can be king (or queen)

And it starts with downloading the Gumtree app, 

so you can start listing ALL those unwanted goods

And just like Sindi’s glass slipper, you might a find a buyer who is the perfect match

So both buyer and sell can both live app-ily ever after

Gumtree, South Africa’s Fairytale Marketplace
